  • Hi,
    I'm going to try and keep this simple and not get wrapped up in how my ex has had so much money and me and the children have pretty much been screwed over.

    Anyway a couple of months ago my ex recieved 113 k inheritance. He currently is earning £200 a month as he lost his main job in July.
    He pays £55 per week, for four children. He has three children stay two nights per week.

    Is there anything else I can ask him to pay for legally? Or increase the child support? It's a private arrangement and he has lied about his income in the past and has only been paying child support for a year..

    I'm in a very difficult financial situation at the moment as I'm having to move (nasty neighbours and threat of violence) im not going to be able to get HB until the house if for sale and I can't do this until the court has stamped the consent order..

    Three of the four boys have autisum and I'm their full time carer.

    Thanks in advance :-)

    Considering some of the figures being bandied about through your entitlement (wasn't it on another thread worked out someone earning would need to earn over 77k a year to reach your benefit income levels ?) then maybe you should pop over to the old fashioned moneysaving board to get budgetting advice if you are struggling on that amount of income !
    Spelling courtesy of the whims of auto correct...

    I agree ! I was one that fell for the whole " woe is me " line on this thread and now realise from the other thread that the OP is getting the equivalent of £77,000 per year PLUS maintenance.
